The Shelter of Object

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

What started as an exploration of the relationship between collage and architecture, developed into a tower of separations and ambiguities, separation of rooms and objects, ambiguity of meaning and placement. What started as a secluded room in the forest, developed into a tower that secludes itself and its rooms. The thesis is process and finality, always changing, always complete. The object is shelter of object. The purpose is to contain both material things and purpose.
